For me, on safari, ~70% of the viewable page was google advertisements. That’s usually a good sign that they’re trying to make money.

Jack, if you see this, you should fix this before the big G suspends your AdSense account (definitely a ToS violation)

Why is having a website designed to make money an AdSense ToS violation?

There are limits (in their ToS) to the amount of ads you can have on a page, and this was way beyond that limit.

I’ve made this mistake myself :)

“Fixing it” here just means removing some of the ads. I suspect he’ll actually make more money after removing most of the ads.

Thanks.

I suppose the "more money" is that you would expect more conversions as people spend longer on the site and less time clicking away from the ads?

Correct
